Overcome setbacks and release ideals. After getting to the topic of the speech, I have been thinking, what is the starting point? What is the end point? Life has a starting point, and there are starting points everywhere in life. Life has an end, but does life have one? If so, doesn’t the profound influence of the ancients’ thoughts on us represent a kind of vitality? Then I thought of another question: What is life? A book says, life Even the joy of birth does not belong to you, and the sorrow of death does not belong to you. Only the hardship of living belongs to you. A book also said that life without pursuit and achievement cannot be called life. We came to the world in the same way and gathered in Beilin after experiencing different life experiences. We must want to live our own lives. On the same starting line, we must all weave our own dreams. But who of us knows where the other side of our dreams is? The end point is as unpredictable as the future. What will happen to us in the middle is always full of mystery.

Please remember a truth: Youth is a fortune. We have youth, which is the most precious wealth in pursuing ideals. What is youth without dreams and pursuit? Youth without hesitation. , how can youth without persistent pursuit be called youth?

Have faith, great! Have pursuit, great! But have you fully foreseen the difficulties and setbacks in this process? Of course there are some at the starting point. Ambition may be brilliant at the end, but when life smoothes the edge of the ideal step by step, won't the ambition disappear? Don't think that we are in college. no. Gorky said: "Suffering is the real university." A great man also said: "Suffering is the only way in life." So when you have ambitions, you must also open your arms to welcome suffering.

Have you read "The Biography of Churchill"? What kind of life experience did this speech genius, who only takes a hundred years to be born, go through! Everyone may only remember his very miserable transcript, but they don’t know his Lonely, even a childhood that almost died several times. Everyone may only remember his glory as Lord of the Admiralty, but they don't know that he went from an ordinary cavalryman to a war correspondent who made many extraordinary achievements and went through all kinds of legendary experiences of near death. Everyone may only remember his overwhelming and inflammatory speeches, but they don't know that he was often laughed at, ridiculed, and insulted when he was growing up. Even his ugly appearance and short stature are always talked about by his opponents. Everyone may only remember that he was born into a noble family and should enjoy all the glory, but they don't know the dilemma that Winston Churchill faced when he was a young man when the Churchill family went from Duke Marlborough to Lord Randolph, etc. wait. It is precisely because of the ups and downs of the political arena that Churchill experienced that his rough life led to his immortal saying: "All I can offer is blood and tears." This sentence is indeed full of blood and tears. It is built up from a lot of suffering.

Some people may say: I don’t want to be a great figure like Churchill, but please remember: the height of dreams is directly proportional to the degree of suffering. So be prepared for hardship at the starting point. In fact, pursuing dreams means long-distance running. Suffering is the physiological limit of human beings. If you encounter it, just bite and persevere for a while, and you will be able to "preserve until the clouds clear and the moon becomes clear." But there will always be people who waver. Aren’t these people complacent when they stood at the starting point? Doesn’t this mean that we must fully anticipate suffering and recognize the importance of ourselves?

Remember an ordinary saying: Persistence is victory, believe If you put in the effort, you will gain something, because "where there is a will, things can come true. Even if the cauldron sinks the boat, one hundred and two Qin Passes will eventually belong to Chu. The painstaking efforts will be worthy of man and nature. If you sleep on the salary and taste the courage, three thousand Yue Jia can swallow Wu." This is the power of faith.

But who has no weakness or laziness? Our ideals have been set free. How can we give up? On the road of running, if you are not hesitant or frustrated, just listen to a poem I sent to you. , and as the end of my speech, I hope it can give everyone some strength to run towards the finish line.

If life deceives you

If life deceives you

Don’t be melancholy, don’t be sad

The pain is only now

Believe, happiness will always come

My heart is always looking towards the future

Although we live in the melancholy present

Everything is fleeting, everything is It will pass

And what has passed will also become a dear memory
